Ohio State used its potent offense to hold off Cornell in the first round of the NIT, 88-83, on Tuesday. The Buckeyes used a late-season surge after a coaching change to flirt with the NCAA Tournament, but settled with the No. 2 seed in the NIT.

The Buckeyes are a short home favorite in the second round of the NIT against Virginia Tech Saturday afternoon.
